Articles about Ambar Roy


Profile:

In his youth, Ambar Roy was one of the most promising cricketers in the land. A dashing left handed strokeplayer, Roy made an impressive debut in Test cricket. In his first innings, against New Zealand at Nagpur in 1969-70, he outshone even Farokh Engineer while sharing an eighth wicket partnership of 73 runs in a losing cause. Roy scored 48 with ten fours. But he achieved little of note in the three further Tests he played, against New Zealand and Australia, the same season and was not considered thereafter.

However Roy remained a tower of strength to the Bengal batting throughout the sixties and seventies, besides leading them for several years. In the Ranji Trophy alone, Roy scored 3817 runs (49.57) and in a first class career that stretched almost two decades, he scored 7163 runs (43.15) with 18 centuries. A nephew of Pankaj Roy, Roy for many years represented East Zone in the national selection committee. He died suddenly following a heart attack at the age of 52. (Partab Ramchand)
